In reply to the discussion: The Vatican and the Sistine Chapel... [View all]Locut0s

Our trip to Italy was one of our best Vacations in recent years, I hope the same is true for you. I remember the Sistine Chapel and Pieta well. I have pictures of the Pieta somewhere but not as good as yours! I had a crappy camera at the time. Sadly when I was in the Sistine Chapel I believe they did forbid us to take pictures. Or perhaps it was just flash photography. I had a difficult time at times making myself understood in museums that said no flash photography. I was going to use my camera without the flash which would have been fine but they didn't understand and just strictly said no.

Did you tromp up to the top of the cupola? Fantastic views of Rome from there....

No, we didn't do that. I wouldn't have been able to anyway, with this cold.
